Have you been exercising regularly before the Covid-19 lockdown? If you have been and like the most of us who have been exercising regularly, we just couldn’t wait for the lockdown to be lifted. When we were told to stay home during the lockdown, we try to do indoor exercises but somehow to me, it is not the same as exercising outdoor.
What is so different with outdoor exercise compared to indoor exercise? People usually go for outdoor exercises early in the morning or in the evening. With outdoor exercises, we get to see the sun rises in the early morning or the sun sets in the evening. Most people prefer exercising in the early morning when the air is so much cooler and fresher. For those who are not able to make it in the morning, they will choose to exercise in the evening when the sun is not so hot.
For those of us who love doing exercise outdoor, we find exercising indoor boring especially when we have to face the four walls. We may have upbeat music to accompany our exercise but we don’t get to see people and nature around us. We don’t get to see children playing in the park or people greeting or chatting with one another. If we are taking our exercises seriously, then we should continue to exercise even if we have to do it indoor during this lockdown.
There are many types of outdoor exercise. Besides jogging or brisk walking, cycling is another common exercise which is suitable for all ages. People staying in the cities can cycle in one of the nearby parks or around their residential area. Cycling is a cheap form of exercise when you don’t have to pay for petrol or a monthly fee to use the gym. Maintenance cost of a bicycle is minimal.
